Carpet Bomber

A Great idea for Empires!

Have you played WiC (World In Conflict) and imagined what that Carpet Bomber would be like in Empires? Well heres my suggestion! :D

What it looks like:
A sort of Jet Plane, it drops 5/6 bombs every 1 second once you press Right-Click to drop bombs.

Description pleash?

The plane is 15 feet long and 10 feet wide
It has 2 engines
It can do a 180 degree angle in 7 seconds
It's speed is half the speed of the jeep (about the APCs speed isnt it?)
The bombs are 4 feet long and 1 feet wide (shaped like torpedoes)
If ever dropped in water, creates a big explosion, but not much damage (unless your boat happens to be like 1 inch from the huge explosion)
When each bomb explodes, releases a toxic chemical that stays for a duration of 1 Minute and 25 seconds dependent on the Research Order
For example:
Get a Heavy Tank and the duration goes to 1 minute (Not much damage)
Get a Medium Tank and the duration is 1:25 minutes (Half Health)
Get a Light Tank and the duration will be 1:55 minutes long (3/4 damage)
If you research all three, it has enough damage to hurt a CV 1/6 of its health.
Note: Only 6 bombs can do 1/6 of its damage, it does no after-affect, it only just hurts it as if you throw a missle at it (Normal).

Does it sux?
Well depends on who you are really, if your a newb, probably, if your a mediate player, you'll find it helpful.

Is it easy to drive?
It sucks at speed, but the thrust is 1/4 extra of the speed
Its turning is like the Tanks, it can hover but not long or the Engine does an over-heat and will litterly blow you out of the sky in 1 minute
Also it takes double the time to reload its Bombs than the Machine Gunners gun.

Whats the blast radius?
About...6 feet, or up to the Developers. Eithers good.

Whats it called other than a carpet bomber?
I'd like to call it a 'Flame Flyer'. Yeah. Its a lame name dont use it

Weapons and usefullness
Plasma Bombs - Bad against Tanks and infantry, great against Jeeps (Full damage)
Explosive Bombs V1 - Only works on Jeeps, APCs, AFVs, and Medium Tanks
Toxic Death - Great on Infantry, Light Tanks and AFVs, takes half damage for Infantry and 1/4 for AFVs and Light Tanks
Explosive Bombs V2 (Requires V1) - Great against Tanks with Composite Armour (Takes side armour away before taking Front away with second-run)
Sulphuric Acid Bombs - A Nano Bomb that eats away anything it touches, except CVs because of the Anti-Sulphur Armour
Last bomb: Granite Bomb - Takes away 1/4 of the CVs damage but does no more to it than 2/4. After Effect: Will take away 1/5 of your health each drop.


Research its in?
If theres an Aircraft research, it must be available after Plasma, Explosive, and Heavy Tank is researched, but its useless without Anti-Flak Armour (Reduces AA Guns by half but reduces Bombs by half)


Tell me what you think! =]

 

Don't suggest aircraft that already exist. Each aircraft will be like a modular swiss army knife: jack of all trades, just equip it with whats needed.

This thread is officially retarded and useless.

 

Depending on how much slots bombers will have for bombs, they may be able to do something like carpetbombing.

 

maybe he just doesn't know enough about the bomber?

yeah you could have slots for aircraft with something like this, nice suggestion

 

but I don't want carpets, I want rugs

 

Yepp. Like when you tie different weapons for different slots in Tanks, you should be able to do it.

 

Screw carpet bombing... ALL VOTE FOR RUG BOMBING!

 

Increment decrement tiem!

"Super Man that Hoe!" ?

Excuse the potty mouth; but it was from a song, so it must be ok...

 

Oops, there are supposed to be 7:

And BEGIN:

 

Lets not.
